Project of the Year Award 2025

Chief William Commanda Bridge Multi-Use Pathway

In summer 2023, the City of Ottawa completed Phase 1 construction of the Chief William Commanda Bridge Multi-Use Pathway, part of a larger bridge rehabilitation project with a cost of approximately $23.7M. Phase 2 involved substructure rehabilitation and was completed in fall 2024. The project consists of the construction of a MUP on the inactive railway Chief William Commanda Bridge without removal of the existing track infrastructure. The new MUP links the City of Ottawa’s Trillium Pathway and the National Capital Commission (NCC) Ottawa River Pathway to the NCC Voyageurs’ Pathway in Gatineau.
